Foreword from the Chair of Trustees
It is a pleasure, as always, to report on another successful year at Citizens Advice Tadley & District, however we might choose to measure it.The Treasurer will report elsewhere on a year when again we outperformed our budget, and made a modest surplus rather than the forecast modest deficit. Mrs Micawber would approve!
rough calculation we assisted around 10% of the Tadley & District population. The trustees are immensely appreciative of the impact our staff and volunteers have on the lives of local people.
As I hinted would be the case at the end of my report last year, 2023-24 was a year of change. Rachel Campbell stood down as Chief Officer in the early summer, and we were fortunate to recruit an excellent replacement in Fraser Gleave. Fraser had worked at Citizens Advice Tadley previously before being seduced away to the Reading charity, so he brought local knowledge but also wider experience in a senior role at a larger Citizens Advice. I pay tribute to Rachel for leaving us on a very secure footing and with a happy group of staff and volunteers for Fraser to inherit. We were fortunate that for the short interim, Recruitment and Development Manager, Di Lewis, and recently promoted Advice Services Manager, Emma Blackburn, held the fort.
There have also been changes among trustees. After very long periods of service Janette Hewitt and Cllr Jo Slimin stood down as trustees. Janette continues to serve as an adviser. Almost everyone will know Jo Slimin as a local councillor and someone who has been a driving force for Citizens Advice in the town since its earliest days. Our debt to Jo is immeasurable. She continues to represent Tadley Town Council as an observer at our Board meetings. Former adviser and supervisor, David Lister, has joined the trustees, bringing long experience of work on the ‘shopfloor’ of Citizens Advice Tadley.
Finally, I would like to record the trustees’ immense gratitude to all our donors and other supporters, listed elsewhere in this report, without whom none of what we have achieved would be possible.

This has been a year of enormous change for Citizens Advice Tadley, with the start of the year (and the end of 2022/23) marking the end of an era; almost all of our long-standing staff moved on to new ventures, along with several of our highly-valued volunteers. However, as with many challenges, this presented a new opportunity for our organisation to take stock of the many successes of previous years and look for a new way towards our most exciting ambitions.
As ever, this is an ongoing process, but some of the initial changes are visible in this report and worth calling to attention:
We’ve changed the way we run our reporting on outputs . The total number of clients for the year is now reviewed across the 12-month period, rather than adding our quarterly stats together. Though this previous method of accounting for clients reflected the cumulative workload on a quarterly basis, it didn’t show the true number of individuals helped each year. As such, we’ve seen an exaggerated drop in client numbers for 23/24 compared to last year’s report (2406 vs 3419) but the reality was more modest (2406 vs 2574). All other metrics from previous years remain accurate as they’re not ‘double-counted’ through quarters.
For 23/24, 81% of clients said their problem was either completely or mostly solved following our advice. This compares to us recording results for just under 35% of the issues we helped with - itself a significant improvement over 22% in 22/23, 16% in 21/22 and a historic average of around 9% prior to that. We know that our service has an incredible impact on the lives of thousands of people in our community, and although this has previously been undervalued, we’re making a big effort to better show this to everyone.
Comparing the percentage of issues that we helped with in 23/24 against pre-Covid, 19/20, by ‘cost of living’ vs all other issues:
We’re getting better at recording our true impact . For regular readers of the CAT Annual Report, you’ll have seen this had already been improving over the last few years, but there is still room for improvement. Though it’s not like-for-like, the difference between the number of clients who report that we’ve helped to solve all or some of their issues and the percentage of outcomes we’ve recorded against those issues have been worlds apart.
5
We need to create capacity in order to best serve our community . The cost of living crisis is continuing and is getting worse for many. In some ways, it’s becoming a tired narrative, but that fatigue is part of daily life for a huge number of people in our area and who we help each year. As the graphs (left) show, cost of living issues are continuing to rise at the expense of the 7 other ‘headline’ issues that we help with, including housing, consumer and employment problems. However, there is no sign that these other issues are going away - only that we’re not helping as many people with them.
the difference that our expanded presence in the community can make to the lives of so many people in Tadley and the surrounding areas. It isn’t without its challenges, but we have a clear vision of what we want to do and believe that it is worth doing. I’m extremely grateful to everyone in our organisation for giving their time, patience and skill to helping us move forwards - together, we are capable of making a real difference and I can’t wait to reflect on everything we’ve done by this time next year.
Fraser Gleave
As such, towards the end of 2023/24 and heading into 2024/25, our focus has turned towards ensuring our service is running effectively, that volunteers are well supported and, of course, building our volunteer team. This means that there hasn’t been a lot to show in terms of new and exciting initiatives. Instead, the analogy of ‘reinforcing the foundations’ provides an apt summary.
needs and expects from us. We know that our regular, reliable, face-to-face service is hugely valued, but we also know that it needs to be backed-up by better access through remote channels - particularly our Adviceline telephone support. We’re also seeing and hearing that there’s an appetite for better access for vulnerable and disconnected people, through outreach services in key locations across our rural catchment, as well as improving our ‘out of hours’ provision. We want to do these things well, bringing the unrivalled care, quality and expertise we offer to all parts of any future services. This means making sure that we have the capacity to absorb the management of additional staff, volunteers and stakeholders that new services would bring, without taking away from what we already deliver.

Case studies and feedback
Here is a small sample of some of the work our advisers and specialist caseworkers have done for local clients this year.
Sarah gets Maternity Pay from a rogue boss
Sarah came to us explaining that she was being threatened with redundancy from the cleaning company she worked for. Not only was she worried about how she would find new work or afford to live in the meantime, there was the complication that she was 27 weeks pregnant. Not only that, but her partner, Bill, also worked for the same company and was up for redundancy, meaning there was the chance the whole family would soon be without
employment. Sarah’s employer knew that she was pregnant and they had informed her that she would not be eligible for any Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) as they classified her as an “Agency Worker”.
Working with Sarah, we were able to determine that, in fact, Sarah was an employee, as her contract and payslips indicated. This meant that she had greater rights than a ‘worker’, which something her employer had attempted to persuade her otherwise of. Because she was an employee, we calculated her ‘qualifying weeks’ for SMP, which had already passed by the time she’d contacted us. This meant that Sarah would be eligible for SMP. From here, we provided Sarah with the links to the relevant legislation so that she could raise the matter with her employer.
identified that, after they had their child, Sarah and Bill would be eligible for £1,210 of Universal Credit per month, on top of their
book a follow-up appointment with them to complete a Universal Credit online application, which reassured them that they wouldn’t have to do this alone.
Following our advice, Sarah’s employer accepted they were required to pay SMP. After the birth of their son in November, the family was in receipt of both SMP and UC (totalling to £1957 per month), and ensuring their financial stability.
Arranging a fresh start for Maggie
Maggie initially came to us in crisis at our foodbank outreach, having fallen behind with essential costs after changing jobs. We helped her with a foodbank referral, but in the process discovered that her previous, insecure agency work had left her with various debts.
We supported Maggie through a few appointments with debt casework - negotiating with creditors on her behalf and placing her into a ‘Breathing Space’ to put a hold on creditor action. With this respite, Maggie was able to fully consider her options and decided a Debt Relief Order (DRO) would be the best her so she could make a fresh start with her budget in her new job.
Through the Citizens Advice DRO Unit we processed her application. As a result, Maggie had £10,887 of debt written off!

Billah’s energy supplier problems solved
“Tadley CA were excellent.”
In June 2023, Billah had received a number of large electricity bills totalling £2,700. Since October 2020 he’d had a faulty meter. Although he’d contacted his supplier a number of times, due to poor communication and missed engineer visits, the meter remained faulty. Billah had been reassured by the supplier that the issue would be resolved and he would not be liable for any arrears from this period. Nonetheless, he continued to report the issue and wait for a response. In May 2023, the meter was finally fixed, triggering ‘overdue’ bills. As a single parent with a young child, and a number of complex health conditions, the stress of the situation had a detrimental impact on Billah, leaving him anxious and distressed about the potential of having to find the money to pay this large debt they were being chased for.
We raised the problems with the energy supplier and were immediately able to have £1558 written-off, according to Ofgem back-billing rules. However a balance of £1142 remained. We outlined the various options to Billah and he decided to pursue the issue with the Energy Ombudsman, although they did not feel confident to do this themself. We worked hard to pull together all the evidence and documentation involved in the case and submitted a complaint on his behalf.
After consideration by the Ombudsman, based on the evidence we provided of the supplier’s various failings and promises not to charge Billah during that period, they found in Billah’s favour. As a result, the remaining balance was written-off entirely and a goodwill gesture of £220 was provided to Billah in recognition of all the distress caused.
“Excellent service, other organisations could learn a lot from CA.”
“I've been getting so much help from Janette… lovely lady who has helped me so much I can't thank her enough literally has guided me through the process of family court at a very distressing time .. thank you Citizens Advice I’d be lost without you...”
“The situation is ongoing and hopefully will be resolved soon one way or another. I’m most grateful for the help that Clare has offered me.”
“Just that the people treat you with the utmost respect, which in this day and age, is a wonderful experience.”
“I have used the service a few times and as always this time was very helpful.”
“The advice I received was documented well in an email and I was able to access the information when I needed it. The lady was very attentive and easy to talk to.”
“The person was very calming and did not rush me explaining things in a way made things easier to undertake.”

A volunteer’s perspective
I've been a volunteer now for around 3 years.
What made me put myself forward? When I was in my twenties (I’m 66 now) my father-in-law was involved with CA as an adviser in his local town of Malton in North Yorkshire. He used to come home with some interesting and sometimes heartbreaking stories of people in need of assistance. At that time I thought to myself, I would like to be involved with that when I get older and have the time available. So here I am.
it difficult or cannot navigate their way through a situation or problem, will all need help at some point in our lives and it's very rewarding knowing that you have set someone's mind at ease over an issue or problem they are facing.
When you are involved with CA you give something back into your community and you learn more about local issues and problems people face on a day to day basis. You personally learn a great deal as an individual and interacting with staff and clients makes you think deeper and helps broaden your horizon and keeps your mind active. I hope to be involved for some time to come and would encourage anybody who has the time to get involved.

Research and Campaigns
As a service, we hold a huge amount of data about the problems the people in our community face.
Earlier in this report, we described and showed how the cost of living crisis continues, with the number of issues relating to living standards remaining extremely high for 2023/24.
A retrospective look over the last 5 years - to include an overview of our services ‘pre-pandemic’ - emphasises this striking trend and definitively dispels any perception that the cost of living crisis is in any way ‘over’.
Comparing the number of issues we helped with during each year, broken down by key cost of living issues:
Citizens Advice network, this year we also increased our engagement with external stakeholders.
One of the key channels we’ve explored has been by approaching policy-makers directly. This included:
-
Meeting with local MPs and providing evidence on the necessity of increasing benefits rates in 2024, which was then included in the Autumn Budget.
-
housing associations removing carpets and white goods as a matter of routine before letting to new tenants, which was heard at the HA scrutiny committee meeting.
-
Provided evidence to Citizens Advice leading to the change to Debt Relief Orders in 2024, which was confirmed by ministers as an influencing factor in the decision.
We’ve also continued to promote awareness of key issues to the public, with our social media channels providing the most regular ongoing outlet of bite-size information. Additionally this year, we also supported this work with regular features on local radio to discuss some of these ‘burning issues’, give our perspective and sometimes offer basic information and advice about how to deal with these issues.
these activities, we’re proud of the response we’ve had to both our promotion of issues and the resulting policy changes we’ve seen.

Evidence forms
Here are some examples of the 143 evidence forms we have produced this year.
What is the problem?
The client has taken out an IVA and the IVA company have included a joint Tax Credit debt. The client's partner is the person who the joint Tax Credit debt is with and they are now being pursued.
What is the impact of the problem?
Tax Credit debt could be included in her IVA and that her partner would no longer be liable. This error is causing stress/anxiety to both the client/her partner.This constitutes poor practice by the IVA firm to allow this client to include the joint Tax Credit debt. Citizens Advice may need to help the client with correct advice.
What is the problem?
Despite informing the Universal Credit (UC) adviser in a 3-way call (in which client was supported by a Citizens Advice adviser) to the UC Helpline that she is disabled, cannot walk, cannot leave the house, and would require a home visit for any appointment, client has been asked via her Journal to attend a face to face
appointment at her local Job Centre. The Department for Work and Pensions have been provided with evidence of client's disability and have granted her ‘Limited Capability WRA but are failing to make reasonable adjustments in their arrangements for interview. Agreements made via the Helpline are subsequently ignored in communications via the client's Journal.
What is the impact of the problem?
What is the problem?
Threat of a s21 eviction notice. This may be because of ongoing dispute over overpayment of rent. However, the Landlord is stating that he wants to sell property. Our client gets Housing Benefit (HB) paid directly to landlord. HB which was suspended for 3 months. Client paid for rent directly to Landlord, but Landlord received back-rent from Council when HB re-instated. Landlord didn't give Cl back the overpaid rent money. Cl is considering making a claim in Small Claims Court but this won’t resolve the housing issue.
Client is distressed and unsure how to proceed. She does not feel listened to by UC and she feels that UC are refusing to take her disability into account in the requirements they are imposing on her.In addition to her physical disabilities client suffers from anxiety. This is made worse by the way UC are dealing with her, ignoring her needs for reasonable adjustments to be made in their dealings with her.
What is the impact of the problem?
Cl is concerned they will lose their home and may be made homeless.
